Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

Its official. I'm 4 days post op. I had surgery on Monday. Thank you for all of the well wishes and prayers. I can honestly say that the pain wasn't too bad. Maybe because the meds right after surgery but when I came to I really tried not to press that heavenly button. I only used it to sleep. The only real pain is from the incision in my belly button. It really hurts and when I try to stand. I also miss the hospital bed. So I'm sleeping on my couch with my back against it. Can't sleep laying down. Trying to get my liquids in but I want some damn food. A grilled cheese, some chicken, something solid. Is this normal? lol. I wonder if they really sleeved me? lol Well I good luck to those going in for surgery, god bless and may your surgery be a success.

I was sleeved Dec. 03, and I've been dreaming of a sandwich since the recovery room. I *hope* we're normal!

December 16th here. Not sure what all to say. I'm almost 26, in college, and just ready for this to be over with the back and forth in my head is killing me.

Best of luck today AtlantaRed. We are all rooting for you ...

Lots of well wishes for your surgery today Bremartus. I'm sure everything will go well ...

Any post sleevers burp after everything they drink?

7 days down, 7 more to go. 2 pounds down!!!

Hi everyone! I am still here..lol

Still in hospital bet each day is getting a bit better. Haven't done so well on the prerequisit liquids...hoping today will be better....that's what will determine if I can go home.

Will check back later but just wanted to touch base!

<p>Hi everyone! I am one week away (Dec 19th) from surgery. Looking at our list, I am still on my own! I have to say that I am not at all nervous about the actual surgery, but how I will feel immediately after. I think nausea is THE worst feeling in the world. I also have been known to end up back in the hospital after surgeries with severe dehydration. I already know that I will be in the hospital at least 2 days, so that makes me feel a little better, also, my husband will be staying with me to motivate me to walk, cough and deep breathe.<br>

I did purchase a night gown since I don't normally wear one and was told I would be more comfortable without an elastic waist band. But, I am wondering if I should just stay in the hospital gown? Did anyone wear their own? and if so, did they get soiled?</p>

I just wore the hospital gown the whole time!

For a few days and then it goes away. It only comes back if I drink something too cold or take too big a sip!

Good luck December 13 sleevers! Today is your day!

Best of luck to all of the December 13 sleevers. We're thinking of you ...
